I have a csv file and I created a new configuration file for Logstash: > input { > file { > path =\> "/Users/naka/Documents/exploringELK/cims1819.csv" > type =\> "csv" > start\_position =\> "beginning" } } > filter { csv { columns =\> ["ReferenceID","Vtype","MasterRefID","Branch","PostedBy","LPName","Scity","Sstate","Dcity","Dstate","TonnageRequested","TonnagePlaced", "LPRate" ,"SalesQuoteID","L1Name","L1BidQuotedBy","L1Amount","L1Margin","L1ATH","L1BidingDateTime","L2Name","L2BidQuotedBy","L2Amount","L2Margin","L2ATH","L2BidingDateTime","L3Name","L3BidQuotedBy","L3Amount","L3Margin","L3ATH","L3BidingDateTime","L4Name","L4BidQuotedBy","L4Amount","L4Margin","L4ATH","L4BidingDateTime","BookingID"] separator =\> "," } } > output { > elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] } > } I don't get any error messages when I launch with > logstash -f cimsLogstash.conf However I don't get the prompt back on my terminal and the csv file doesn't get loaded in Kibana.

Try adding ``` sincedb_path => "/dev/null" ``` to your file input. If that does not help run with "--log.level trace" and see what filewatch has to say. ---

Thanks! That and adding a index name helped! Now I need to figure out how to visualise the data I have uploaded 😅 ---
